I was very fortunate to met the super talented Parisian designer Saundra Saulnier in Los Angeles and was immediately impressed by her unique creative vision in fashion & style which is “ Sexy, Sleek & Simple”. Her most recent collection says exactly just that!

Mademoiselle Saunlnier knew since she was a little girl that she would be a fashion designer. Taught to sew by her dressmaker grandmother, the French Canadian native designed and sketched all of her clothes, took classes in art and pattern making, and studied the world of retail to gain a comprehensive understanding of the diverse aspects of the fashion business.

After been the design director for various design houses such as Esprit de Corps, Bebe Los Angeles…etc. in 2007 Saundra started Ultrakat Productions Inc., a full-service design consulting company with clients worldwide. She also launched her SZ brand, a sleek, sexy, simple, low maintenance clothing collection for ‘women on the go’ of all ages.

“Fashion is an adventure of joy and an expression of self. Clothes call to an individual and connect you creatively to your soul. To design the timeless favorites that one pulls out of their closet repeatedly; that a person knows makes them feel and look their best and fuses into their way of living, is rewarding as a fashion designer.” Mademoiselle Saunlnier said.

Her most recent collection featured many of the “Essentials pieces ” that every fashionistas should have in their closet! Imagine you had to travel to Paris for couple days with just one of your Louis Vuitton duffle bag, just bring couple of Mademoiselle Saunlnier’s “SZ Collection” pieces, mix it, layer it & it creates many looks for each occasions in your trip! Her “Sexy, Sleek & Simple” separates is perfect for the girl on the go!

The Marcie tote comes in 3 sizes, small, medium and large. I got the Large one and think it’s just the perfect size for a male fashionista to carry to work, shopping in the city or head to the Hamptons for a little get away in the weekends! Also this is such a classic shape (Not like some of Chloe’s more trendy bags that will only be good for period of time then it’s last season’s news!) that it will be fashionable & classic season after season!

This bag has matte finished gold-tone hardware, two wrap-detailed top handles, stitch-detailed fold-over flap at front with a buckle and strap to fasten and a welt pocket underneath, a zip fastening at top, designer-stamped zip-pull, designer logo discreetly embossed at front, internal zipped and pouch pockets and is fully lined in light-brown canvas.

Ok girls, this is the real deal!! a fashion spy birdie just told us! The secret Manolo Blahnik Spring sale is back and Andre Leon Taley is the host for the event. Now get your credit cards ready, put your foot on the gas and hold on to your pumps. The Manolo Blahnik sale are usually reserved for editors and fashion insiders the Manolo sale is renowned as a full-on fashion event.

We hear that this season’s sale will feature Vogue’s contributing editor and America’s Next Top Model judge, Andre Leon Talley. He will be playing the role of Prince Charming and help women slip into their perfect shoe on Thursday, April 29th. As we all know Mr. Leon Talley is a fashion icon! So to meet him in person, that may be reason alone to attend. Everything is more fun when Andre Leon Taley is present.

At previous sample sales leather heels started at $100. Usually the morning of the sale is reserved for press and insiders and the afternoon is open to the public.

For those of you who are unnerved by sample sale crowds ( like the infamous Barneys New York warehouse sale! Yes you can find great designer goods in bargain price there, But if you have been to the Barneys Warehouse sale then you know how scary those female (or fabulous gays) shopper could be! Everyone is like on a mission, pushing, elbowing to name a few to get their well manicured hands on that Balenciaga it bag or Helmut Lang Jeans!) or you do not live in the city I love, New York City, then take a browse through your local Saks Off 5th outlet store. We recently found the shoe department to be very well stocked with Manolos and all priced in the $200 range. I know it’s not as glamorous as going to the Manolo sale in NYC, It’s not a $100 and there’s no Andre Leon Talley but we found patent leather, high heel, Marry Janes and they come with a return option. (Not all of us are as rich as the Sex and the city girls right?! )

So write this down on to your blackberry , refrigerator and on your bathroom mirror to remind yourself of this event !!

What insiders don’t know is that the doors open up to the public after 11 a.m ! The only ones who know about this well-guarded secret? Loyalists who are in with the store clerks and friends of editors.

How can we mention Manolo Blahnik without thinking of the show/movie Sex and the City ?! here is a video

I am warming up my American Express Black Card and ready to shop !!

Until next time, be well and look fabulous ( in your Manolo Blahniks!! )

It’s said that the reason why this bag is so famous is kinda related with our familiar Princess Diana. “In 1995, at the Cezanne Art Exhibition sponsored by Dior Corporation, the former French First Lady Bernadette Chirac sent Princess Diana a new model of Christian Dior bags as a gift.” Then Dior immediately named this unreleased bag “Lady Dior” – gracefully to the name extremely. And Diana also liked this bag so much that she carried it in many important official occasions, then this bag has fired up.
